Had a lovely question on Nuts yesterday:

Which part of the body goes over the bar first in the high jump?

a) Feet
b) Head

How stupid. You can either scissor or fosbury flop a high jump meaning both of those can be right. Seeing as 99% of high jumpers use the flop technique (head first) i guessed head. Clearly i was wrong. :x :(
